David, it's been a good few years since I last played with pppd and serial lines, but 'loopback detected' usually indicates that the sending side is getting everytyhing echoed straight back.
Hmm,
That makes sense. Now I look to find out how to turn that off. Connection with minicom works fine, so this looks to be a ppp issue only. Funny how something like serial communications can change from release to release. This is the same hardware and same config I had running 10.0, but now I'm looped back -- go figure... Thanks.
Using a loopback dongle used to be a way to test ports, could be since most people do not use serial any more that during setup that they tested PPP and didn't remove the setting. I've been thinking about setting up a modem again just for old times sake. -- Collector of vintage computers http://www.ncf.ca/~ba600 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
